Larrey and the mystery of the disappearing testicles or how I will literally read any stupid thing if it has Larrey’s name on it
Could you identify all the ppl in the Austerlitz play-lear? Nap, then Bessieres, then ???, Davout, ???, Lannes, suspiciously dark-haired Ney?? and Murat
Alrighty I looked it over anon so
Top row: Napoleon, Bessieres, and Bernadotte*Middle: Davout, Soult, and LannesBottom: Oudinot, Murat, and some soldiers.
*Bernadotte doesn’t look like himself b/c I think the artist accidentally used (this portrait) of Barthélemy Catherine Joubert as reference
Play-Learn:The Battle of Austerlitz (French Army)
In which even young Nap couldn’t tolerate defeat
I used to think Lannes was the marshal that needed a chill pill but now I’m starting to think it was Oudinot

So in Saint-Denis’ Napoleon from the Tuileries to St. Helena he mentions an episode where Napoleon had called for Dr. Antommarchi, but had been forced to wait hours because the doctor had disappeared from Longwood (yet again). When the doctor finally did show up Napo gave him a scolding, saying that if Larrey were there he wouldn’t have left Napoleon’s bedside.
my aunt went to Corsica for vacation and she brought me back some Napoleon magnets
they go really well with my other Napoleon magnet
I could have a Napoleon themed fridge if I wanted to
*fingers crossed*

NAPOLEON WAS HETEROSEXUAL
As much as we all wish that he had been part of the LGBT community somehow, it is to be an awful historian than to pretend that he ever had a relationship with a man.
There is literally ZERO proof proving such a thing - and I have done my research.
Sorry to break your dreams, lads
shhhh don't say anything or they'll hear you
